When the two little ones went to find the Thunder Eagle, Tian Ning specifically reminded them to take it easy. When he turned around, Ouyang Si's expression was beyond ugly.
The Thunder Eagle's attack not only signified his defeat, but what was even more unacceptable was that the spirit beast summoned by Tian Ning was far more powerful than the Thunder Eagle!
Tian Ning didn't think that much.
Is using spirit beasts in the competition against the rules? She had already asked the elders of the eight great families about this.
If Ouyang Si felt it was unfair, he would have stood up to refute it long ago.
But the other party didn't.
Since that's the case, then it's perfectly fine for her to send her spirit beast.
"Alright, let's continue!"
Tian Ning looked full of fighting spirit. Now that the Thunder Eagle was no longer bothering them, they could have a proper sword fight.
Before she could finish speaking, Ouyang Si still chose to strike first!
Compared to his previous underestimation of his opponent, Ouyang Si now realized how troublesome the person before him was. If he couldn't defeat him in time, the spirit beasts and plants that had formed a bond with Tian Ning would join forces against him after dealing with the Thunder Eagle!
Even if his Golden Core cultivation far surpasses Tian Ning's Foundation Establishment cultivation at that point, he might not necessarily win. Moreover, his opponent possesses a sword with a sword spirit.
Ouyang Si was fast, but Tian Ning was even faster.
The audience watched as the two fought back and forth on the stage. No matter what kind of attack Ouyang Si made, Tian Ning seemed to be able to predict his moves and always managed to defend at the crucial moment!
The longswords clashed repeatedly, and for a time it was impossible to determine a winner.
But as the people below watched for a while, they gradually realized something was wrong.
When Ouyang Si used his spiritual power, flames would appear around the Fire Cloud Sword. Generally, cultivators can use different elements because of their spiritual roots, but Tian Ning seemed not to have used any spiritual power from beginning to end.
To her, this seemed to be just a pure swordsmanship contest.
Furthermore, Ouyang Si was on the offensive the entire time, while she was on the defensive.
An elder from one of the eight great families, observing Tian Ning's swordsmanship, frowned deeply: "She's hiding her true strength..."
The elder beside him asked in bewilderment, "How is that possible?"
That little girl's defense was flawless the whole time. Didn't you see Ouyang Si sweating profusely? And you still say you're hiding your strength?
Ouyang Si must have been so angry he vomited blood!
Another elder seemed to understand what was going on. The old man pressed his fingertip to his brow, and even though he was unwilling to admit it, he couldn't help but say, "From the beginning until now, she has only used the most basic defensive sword techniques..."
It's not a special sword technique obtained from a family, sect, or lineage, but the most basic sword technique that beginners learn by practicing!
It's a basic sword technique that every swordsman knows!
If it weren't for the fact that she executed it so naturally and perfectly, just like the teachings in the book, without the slightest deviation, the elder would have almost thought that this was a sword technique she had specially learned.
After all, Ouyang Si used the sword technique passed down through generations of the Ouyang family from beginning to end!
When the elders noticed, Ouyang Si clearly realized something as well.
Basic swordsmanship...
That flawed swordsmanship, which only a beginner would use, actually blocked his attacks time and time again!
Ouyang Si's breathing became erratic. Once the swordsman's mindset changes, the momentum of his attacks also changes. Tian Ning keenly noticed this.
This time, she changed the trajectory of her attack.
The switch from defense to attack happened in an instant. Ouyang Si, who was used to the girl only being able to defend, was startled by her sudden change. He took a few steps back in shock and created a safe distance between himself and Tian Ning.
Tian Ning didn't rush to deliver the final blow. Instead, she abruptly waved to the others in the audience, indicating that she hadn't lied about what she said earlier.
